Spiritual
We had a great Sacrament Meeting. One of our young men who was as crazy a primary kid and youth as you could imagine spoke as he readies to leave to serve a mission in Germany. Boy, he is either the best actor ever or BYU is a place of miracles. Anyway he gave a great talk, primary went well and we had a quiet Sunday.
Temple continues on shut down this week.
My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day.
I have indexed 29,737 records and reviewed 12,951 records so far this year.

The Nathan Rice Family
Nathan, Jessica, Grammy Lorrie and the girls headed to a fruit farm on Monday and picked many delicious blueberries and blackberries. Ellie just couldn't stop eating them! So good. They have been enjoying a great visit from Grammy Lorrie. Nathan and Jessica celebrated their anniversary with a little getaway trip. They had a good time.
Nathan, with some help from Jessica, created this wonderful birthday cake for Miss Emma's fifth birthday celebrationYes, those are truly edible squishmallows!
Dad's Garden
Harvesting tomatoes continues. They are smaller but sure are tasty. We planted a new basil plant but another rodent came in the night and ate every single bit of it. So we purchased another plant and I made dad one caprese salad before he planted in a more secure cage. At least he has eaten some and he got one caprese salad!
Other highlights
First thing in the morning on Memorial Day, Dad and I set out to replace the emergency shut off on our air conditioner. It took over an hour and a half but we got it done.
Dad cleaned up the back patio and got some more rocks put on the back of the fireplace each day. It is still nice enough outdoors when the sun goes down to get work done. We ran out and needed to locate another riverbottom to pick out some more. Finished up on Friday and cleaned the rock with an acid wash on Saturday.
I got the outside refrigerator unplugged and scrubbed out. All nice and clean with cups of baking soda in each compartment. Since we don't have big parties at Thanksgiving and Christmas any more, it won't have to come on unless I get a great deal on produce.
We got the front yard all cleaned up and raked up from the big mesquite tree's first load of pollen and needles. Next come the beans. Yuck!
I also finished installing the final pieces of molding and the corner piece in the entryway. I am getting pretty good using the radial arm saw and still have all my fingers.
